Corporate Lawyer - Alternative Opportunity?

Leading International Law Firm | London

I'm working with a leading international law firm on a genuinely rare opportunity within its highly regarded Private Equity/M&A practice in London.

The firm is looking to hire a Practice Manager to work closely with the Partners and Associates across the team. This would be a particularly interesting opportunity for a transactional lawyer who is starting to think about life beyond fee earning but doesn't want to step away from the action.

This isn't a traditional administrative or operational Practice Manager role. The firm is specifically looking for someone with a transactional legal background who understands how a busy transactional practice operates and can use that experience in a broader, highly influential position within the team.

A key focus will be resourcing, workflow and Associate development, working closely with Partners to understand deal requirements, manage Associate capacity and ensure work is allocated effectively. You'll build strong relationships across the team, supporting Associates with career development, mentoring and performance, while balancing individual development with the commercial needs of the practice.

You will also be involved across training, lateral hiring, workforce planning, business development and wider practice strategy. Practice Management is already an established and highly valued function within the firm, and this role will help expand that successful model into the Private Equity/M&A teams across London.

The firm are keen to meet transactional lawyers with:

• 3+ years' post-qualification experience, gained within a leading law firm or equivalent in-house environment.
• Experience within Private Equity and/or M&A, although this is not essential.
• A genuine interest in the people, strategy and management side of legal practice, particularly areas such as resourcing, career development, mentoring and training.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the confidence to build trusted relationships with Partners, Associates and senior stakeholders.

You will be surrounded by high-quality transactional work and will remain closely involved with the Partners and Associates delivering it - you'll just be contributing from a different angle.

If you are looking to move away from practising law while retaining the pace, intellectual environment and proximity to major transactions of a top Private Equity/M&A team, I would be keen to chat.
